Go to Post I just think that if we are going to have rules intended to level the playing field, they shouldn't hurt teams that put the effort in to go the extra mile. - Dave Scheck [more]

Re: Measuring Muzzle Velocity

in the thread asking how FIRST will measure projectile velocity, the one question that kept coming up is "will spin on the ball affect its max flight distance"

and I think the consenses is 'Yes'

so this method will only be accurate if your launcher does not put a spin on the ball

also, some launchers will be affected (speed altered) if you tip them to point straight upward.
